Tough going out there yesterday during the day time. That bright sun was NOT a fun companion out on the water. Some clouds did roll in for a bit, and there was activity up river when that did occur, as brief as it was. The evening did fish as usual up river, but down here by the club we did not see a huge number of bugs hatching, but did find a good number of fish feeding on spent spinners floating down, especially towards dark, which gave one last rush of action at the end of the day. We are looking at even warmer temperatures today, so the middle of the day will be a great time to find a pool or comfortable place to take a nap. The evening should fish well, as the barometric pressure hasn’t shifted much, and our flows on the West have remained steady overnight. Remember – sunscreen people!
A cool night made for a pretty morning on Home Pool today. The bugs did stay away from the cool fog, unfortunately. Photo by: Bart Larmouth
